Abstract: A numerical model based on the Marker and Cell (MAC) method is developed for the simulation of flow in binary mixture. The porous media is represented as obstacles in the numerical model by using the Fractional-Area Volume Obstacle Representation (FAVOR) technique. The numerical model was initially verified against experiment of lateral inflow into single size porous media. For the verification of flow through binary mixture, the vertical infiltration process (column test) was simulated and the hydraulic conductivity was compared against the laboratory experiment result. Good agreement in the saturated hydraulic conductivity obtained from the numerical and experimental work is observed
